BUNNELL,s GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
rHse COURr nEC0Esp.
Superior Court-CrIminaI Side-Judge
Andrews.


Andrews.
The we'll known ease of the State against
Frank II. Morse of Wallingford, charged
with arson, was put on shortly before four
o'clock, after a suitable jury ha4 been Sc
lected. The plea Of ssnot guilty. was made
by the prisoner. Associated with State
Attorney Doolittle for the State were G. A.
Harrison and 6. M. Wallace. For the de-
PENDANT were w. G. Case, +. M. Hubbard,
H. f. Hall and @. H. D. Fowler. From the
unique array of lawyers it would appear that
every tangible poiut of law connected with
the case would be brought out on both sides
and that the case would be hard fought.
This case did. of course, not suffice to APP
pease the appetite of the general run of
court spectators nearly SO much as the case
on just before, and so the number of visitors
were limited.
The first witness called was George Gill,
who is the assistant secretary of the Montauk
Insurance company of Brooklyn, N. Y. He
simply gave the amount of the insurance in
his company on the building that was burned
in WaIlingford, which was 50, $50, he also
told how the total amount of insurance was
distributed on different things in the build
ing.
Charles Webster testified of the buildings
being insured in the Commercial Insurance
company for 1880 through the George
Webster & Co. agency, of Hartford. This
made two policies that Morse had on the
burned building.
j. M. Mckenzie, civil engineer, had sur
yeyed the place where the building was, and
with a drawing testified as to its location.
Benjamin Church, fireman of Walling-
ford, gave his testimony as to the FIRE occur
ring on Dec. &c, 1888.
David Ross, chief of Wallingford fire de-
partment,' testified to the occurrence of
the fire and to meeting Morse OF the night of
the fire. Morse wanted him to have one of
the streams of water playing on the fire
changed. ~ eff you had turned the hose
where be had wanted to. what would have
been the resultsa was asked the witness, 81
object shouted Attorney Case. The wit
ness then said that the pipemen and hose
men were present when this conversation
took place with Morse.
Charles Manyille, one of the most impor-
tant witnesses for the State, was called to the
stand. NJ. Manvilie is q medium sized man.
He has light lnoustscha and light voice.
81 ana acquainted with Morse; have worked
for him. 't1 can't hear what you are talking
! about, Lawyer Case shouted. "Stand up,

Attempt to wv eek an Express.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-An unsuccessful
attempt to wreck the west bound express
train from New York on the Pennsylvania
railroad was made last night near the
Holmesburg junction by party of three
men and boy. Fortunately special officer
of the company, who was on hand, watched
the men in their nefarious work, took meas
ures to avert the danger, and after following
one of the miscreants for miles finally arrest
Q l him and locked him UP at the sub station
at Tacony. About 1870 o'clock the party
drove up to the railroad station in a one
horse sleigh, and while the boy attended to
the team the men got out and taking one of
the small hand trucks used by employees in
repairing tracks from it's place, placed it
across the track in such position that the
express from New York coming quickly
around the curve would surely crash into it
aud probably be thrown from the track.
Then two of the men got into the sleigh,
which was driven off rapidly, and the third
trudged off The latter was followed by
Officer Brown and locked up. He was given
hearing this morning. He gave his name
as James Lodge, of Trenton. The prisoner
denies any connection with the affair. He
was remanded for further hearing.

THE SITUATION AT TR ENToN.
Congressman Phelps a Dark Horse
senator.


TRENTON, Jan. 13.-The capital of New
Jersey presented great contrast to-day to
the scenes so lately enacted here. All was
quiet. The Senate met and adjourned with
out organizing. At this afternoon Secreta-
ry Redding of the last Senate called the Sen
ate to order, the roll was called, nine men re-
spending to their names. Senator Moon
was the only Democrat present at the roll
call, though many came in later. The SEN
ate was adjourned without any business be-
ing transacted. 1t meets again to morrow
at 12 only to adjourn in all probability until
Monday night. The committee on contested
elections held long session to-day at the
Trenton House and evidently intend to
| investigate the contested Third assembly
district charges, as five hundred subperas
have been issued. They meet again to-mor-
row at Camden. Governor Abbett's chances
| look exceedingly slim in the face of Speaker
Baird's ruling in the House yesterday and
| in view of the committees he has appointed.
| Several Democrats have given hint of their
| intention to throw him over and Attorney
General Stockton is spoken of as a likely
| candidate. The Republicans will not talk
| much, but it looks Ike Phelps now in place
of Sewell. He is kept in the background
for fear of hurting Sewell, but is ready to
be brought forward at any moment.

England. But Many Places sum
GENTLY Provided For slime.
BOSTON, Jan. 13.-The railroads running
out of this city have not yet felt the effects
of the strike in New Jersey and probably
will be the last of the large corporations that
will be obliged to husband their present sup
ply of coal AS regards the anthracite coal
which is used to heat cars they all report
that the stock on hand will be sufficient to
last from three to four weeks.
CLINTON, Mass, Jan. 13.-This town is
fortunate in having plenty of coal. The
largest consumers are the Lancaster gingham
mills, eight thousand tons yearly; Bigelow
carpet mills, six thousand tons yearly; Gin
ton wire cloth company, fourteen hundred
supply on hand. The leading dealers have
generous supply on hand.
LEoM1NsTER, Jan. 13.--The prospective
coal famine has sent coal up here half dol
lar a ton. The Leominster Coal company
had very large cargo ordered when the
strike came and all work on the order was
suspended. The concern has enough on hand
to supply customers for three weeks. w. E.
Lawrence & Co. have enough to last month.
Most people have their winter stock in their
bins. OF the many manufactures here a
majority have water power.
MARLBORO, Jan. 13.-Most of the shoe fac
tories here use soft coal, but none of them
have much stock on hand and the present
supply in the coal yards indicates that con-
siderable inconvenience may ensue before the
present supply can be materially increased.
Dealers have quite quantity on hand. The
dealers apprehend not little trouble. The
price was advanced here to-day from fifty
cents to one dollar ton. Cash down IS re-
